Never seen his fight with Pele. I don't think Chuck would take it to the ground with too many people, but coming off his loss he may not think the same way.
How about Cung Le vs. A. Silva, again just really considering the standup? I'd definitely take Silva, but Le seems to read people really well and stay out of danger. Seems like you have to pressure him and get inside. Le definitely has some unique standup in the MMA world, though.
Yeah, Chuck was very new to MMA when he fought Pele, and was unsure of his standup, so I guess he figured he would take less of a gamble and take Pele down and grind him. We all saw what happened when Overeem hurt Chuck, he did what he had to do, and shot. It would be weird to see Chuck shooting without being in trouble first.
Cung Le/Silva would be great. I'd definitely take Anderson, but you're right, Le is crafty and reads people amazingly. If Le won, it would be by decision, if Anderson won, it would be by KO, I would think. However, I am usually wrong.
